2 Figure 1 Screening method used to identify patients with suspected premature ventricular contraction-induced cardiomyopathy (PVC-CM) who were prescribed Class IC antiarrhythmic drugs (IC-AADs).

3 Figure 2 Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) burden and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) before and after Class IC antiarrhythmic drug (IC-AAD) treatment. A: PVC burden before and after treatment with IC-AAD among the entire study cohort. B: LVEF before and after treatment with IC-AAD among the entire study cohort. C: PVC burden before and after treatment with IC-AAD among the 7 patients with myocardial delayed enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). D: LVEF before and after treatment with IC-AAD among the 7 patients with myocardial delayed enhancement on cardiac MRI.
